What is too much? Is 1/4" within limits? Say 2-3/4" to 3" diameter pipe?

How does the Jeep run with the 1" larger pipe? Does it have more power, more "zip", better throttle response? Or just the opposite?

The question needs more information for clarity. Is the question in regards to everything in front of the throttle body or are you building a customer intake manifold?

If it is in front of the throttle body (stock throttle body) you can expect nearly zero gains. If you install a larger throttle body then yes, you may see better WOT performance but may suffer some part throttle drivability.


Also, what is your goal? What is the reason for the question?
